1970s WCI Kelvinator Washer and Dryer set

[Unimatic1140]

The seller claims 1966, but in '66 Kelvinator was still making orbital washers. This set is from the early 1970's...

why in the world would somebody put mermaid stickers all over them?

Just wondering. Why is the lingerie setting well past the wash period? Is this just for rinsing dainties? I would think most lingerie could use some kind of a wash.

They where used as a storage cabinet.. Note the brita water filter

Gotta admit... I'd REALLY like to have this set! That washer looks like a ton of fun! It's been a loooooooong time since I've heard the sounds of a WCI machine!

Connecticut?

Robert, where are these located? Connecticut? I'm just verifying if I read your original post correctly. If so, too bad because I'm really wanting a vintage set to replace the new "junk" that's in my utility room.... The automatic temperature control and one motor speed in my washer sucks to say the least....

Reminds me of myself - Some things look to nice to use - So, why not save them for future collectors to enjoy, I know the feeling

They are such pretty machines. Didn't they badge them under Gibson as well?

The lingerie setting is part of the "Knits & Delicates" cycle. Just a shorter wash time for m'ladys underthings is all.

Yup, there were Gibson's that looked similar. Whoever get's them should send in the warranty card.....

Any indication of price?

Had they kept the porcelain tubs and that type agitator,I think that the Frigidaire top loaders would have made a better review.I remember those as well as the old Hamiltons that were similar but had the glass see through doors

 

[gyrafoam]

A new pig! How kool! Thats is about the only way a set of these would look so good after all this time.

That would make a great addition for a collection!

 

[jonvance1990]

Wow, love the winged agitator.

I hope someone grabs them.

Have a good one,

And before The Great WCI Shock of 1980 for Frigidaire aficionados, there was one experienced by Kelvinator fans...

I can imagine them going "What the F....?!"

Oh, WCI; you ruined so many classic brand names.
